]]>There’s a lot that looks good about Everly. It’s an (Asian?) action film starring Salma Hayek in the vein of The Raid or Dredd, in which the protagonist is pretty much fighting like a video game character, advancing from one room or level to the next. That’s all cool.

Hayek plays a former prostitute turned informant who appears to have a mortal wound as she fights to get some cash for some unknown beneficiary.

The country of origin isn’t exactly clear from the trailer either. It looks American, with Asian actors, and subtitles. However, it’s an American movie, though it hides the fact well, save for the cheesy one-liners.

Anyway: Everly looks good and you should watch it when it comes out on February 27th.

]]>We here at Screen Junkies love movies. But if there’s one thing we love more than movies, it’s strippers. Granted, when you write for a film and television website, it’s not like the ladies are beating down your door, so strippers are more of a necessity. And even though we know they are just after our money, we love them just the same.

Given our love of movies and our love of strippers, it makes sense that we’re big fans of putting the two things together. Like chocolate and peanut butter, movies and strippers are a natural fit. That’s why we spent the past eight months compiling this list of the sexiest cinematic strippers of all time. God bless these girls. And god bless you, dear reader. Your page views pay my salary, which in turn pays for my stripper habit. I owe you.

Elizabeth Berkley – Showgirls (1995)

A lot of people would have placed this film further down on the list. But damn it, I’m not playing that game. The “so bad it’s good” card can only take you so far. And the truth is, it’s not bad enough to warrant the ironic praise it gets. Even so, Elizabeth Berkley on the pole is not hard to watch.

Julie Andrews – Darling Lili (1970)

I bet you weren’t expecting to see Maria from The Sound of Music on this list. Well, too bad. She played at burlesque dancer in Darling Lili, and burlesque dancer is just another way of saying stripper. If you freeze frame the strip scene, you can actually see her nipples. Something tells me you’re not impressed by that. Well neither was her costar, Rock Hudson.

]]>Hugh Grant‘s adorable stammer has been sought by Aardman Animations for their next project. In The Pirates! Band Of Misfits, Grant will voice a bearded pirate captain concerned with winning the Pirate of the Year award. Directed by Peter Lord, the 3D stop-motion animated flick also stars a metric ass-ton of people, mostly British. Like Martin Freeman, David Tennant, Imelda Staunton, Jeremy Piven, Salma Hayek, Brian Blessed, Brendan Gleeson, Russell Tovey and Ashley Jenson.

Umm… Salma Hayek? Voicing a cartoon?? That means Salma Hayek was sought out for her acting and not her attributes. This. Makes. No. Sense. What is going on today? Help me though this confusion! Dogs are cats!! Food doesn’t taste right!!!! (Deadline)

]]>Oliver Stone has added a few big names to his marijuana drama The Savages. Blake Lively will officially become the stoner dream girl, the “joint” girlfriend of the film’s two heroes. See what I did back there? It was a pot reference. Meanwhile, Pulp Fiction stars John Travolta and Uma Thurman are doing the twist with Universal, as they’re in talks to play a weary DEA agent and Blake Lively‘s mom. Can you guess who would play who? I can’t I am so high right now.

The Savages is about two California potheads (Aaron Johnson and Taylor Kitsch), whose communal girl-pool Ophelia (Lively) gets kidnapped by a badass Mexican drug cartel, forcing the two top dealers to work for them. And that’s why you shouldn’t do drugs, you guys. Cause bad guys played by Salma Hayek and Benicio Del Toro will come after you and the hot girl you share with your pal. You’ve been warned.

http://www.screenjunkies.com/movies/movie-lists/15-sexy-movie-characters-sporting-pigtails/#commentsWed, 30 Mar 2011 22:42:41 +0000http://www.screenjunkies.com/?p=204473Sifting through a bunch of porn stars in pigtails in search of hot mainstream actresses is at the low end of the annoyance scale. But it was a challenging endeavor, none the less.

When I was told to write an article about sexy female movie characters in pigtails, I thought it was going to be a walk in the park. After all, I have Google, so how hard could it be? I was sure I’d be able to easily pull up countless examples of hot women in film wearing the Lolita-like hairstyle. Turns out I was only half right. While it was easy to find hundreds, if not thousands of pics, it was like pulling teeth to find those that weren’t “adult” in nature. I’m not saying that there aren’t a lot of examples in mainstream movies, but searching for them is damn near impossible because all of the search results are overwhelmed by porn. I suppose that at the end of the day, sifting through a bunch of porn stars in pigtails in search of hot mainstream actresses is at the low end of the annoyance scale. But it was a challenging endeavor, none the less.

If you have a great example I left off, leave it in the comment section, and I’ll add it on our honorable mention list. Otherwise, enjoy 15 sexy movie characters sporting pigtails.

Jennifer Schwalbach (now Jennifer Schwalbach Smith) isn’t really that hot by Hollywood standards. She’s not bad looking by any means, and I’m sure she wouldn’t give my ugly ass the time of day. But the fact remains that if she wasn’t banging Kevin Smith, she probably wouldn’t have been in this film. That being said, when you throw a semi-attractive woman in a black-leather bodysuit and put her in pigtails, it instantly ups her hotness level.

Marcy Rylan as Winnie – Bring It On: All or Nothing (2006)

I’m not going to lie to you and pretend I actually saw this film. In fact, before today, I had never heard of Marcy Rylan. But while sifting through a sea of barley-legal girls in pigtails, I came across this photo, and I was so happy to have found something mainstream that she instantly made the list. As an added bonus, she’s hot.

Anna Faris as Shelley Darlingson – The House Bunny (2008)

In the house bunny, Anna Faris plays a Playboy Playmate who is kicked out of the mansion and forced to live in the real world. Fortunately for her, the “real world” turns out to be a sorority house in desperate need of a makeover. Fortunately for us, she dresses like a slut and wears pigtails.

]]>Actor/producer/female Salma Hayek has decided to help out with the daunting task that is The Prophet. Why is it daunting? The plan is for each chapter of Kahlil Gibran’s book to be handled by a different director, with an overarching “theme and musical thorough-line.” And take a look at the directors that are attached on so far:

And there’s going to be more names added in the future. So clearly, Hayek has her work cut out for her, especially since it’s her production company Ventanarosa Productions who’s one of the movie’s producers, and it isn’t known if Hayek will be appearing in the movie in any way.

A little about the book: It’s one of the most popular books in the world, selling more than 100 million copies since its original publication in 1923. I’ve already started reading it so I have something to talk about when I meet Salma Hayek. (via Deadline)

]]>Johnny Depp has left Emir Kusturica’s The Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman With Seven Fingers after realizing the role calls for a Mexican actor and he can’t pull that off no matter what he does with his facial hair.

Not to worry though, Kusturica is already seeking a replacement to star opposite the still-attached Salma Hayek. with plans to meet with Benicio Del Toro and Gael Garcia Bernal. Bernal seems very confident that he’ll win the role, having been quoted recently as saying, “I will probably land the leading role because of physical resemblance with Pancho Villa” and “I believe Emir is the only director who can do the Pancho Villa story. Even better than any Mexican director. You know why? Because he is a kind of Pancho Villa in his own right.”

]]>If there’s one thing the entertainment world is lacking, it’s television adaptations of bestselling fantasy novels. Thank god Salma Hayek is here to correct this grand oversight. She’s now reportedly spearheading an effort to adapt Gregory McGuire’s Wicked into an eight-hour miniseries on ABC. The book, which spawned a wildly successful Broadway adaptation in 2003, follows a slew of key characters from The Wizard of Oz through adolscense and early adulthood, focusing specifically on the green-skinned Wicked Witch of the West. No news yet on whether Hayek will play a role in the series, but “Band on Brothers” scribe Erik Jendersen has already signed on to pen the script. Also notable is the fact that the series won’t be a musical, which means you can watch it without experiencing that sinking feeling in your stomach that indicates your testosterone supply is shutting itself off in preparation for a sex change.

Salma Hayek and her breasts are being eyed for the female lead in an upcoming Kevin James film, Collider is reporting in a very sad tone. In the untitled film, which will no doubt be called Large Naturals Vol. 37, audiences will see Kevin James play a teacher who starts moonlighting as…get this…an MMA fighter! Hilarious! It’s funny cause he’s fat! Talk about a fish out of water. It’s a ridiculous concept…not as ridiculous as Kevin James getting paid millions of dollars to star in a comedy, but ridiculous all the same.

Throughout the 98 minutes of Grown Ups your brain keeps nudging you to just repeat these words: “It’s no surprise, because it’s an Adam Sandler movie.”

Here we have a full-fledged cast of comedians from Sandler, to Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade, and yes, even the forever slave to Sandler movies, Rob Schneider counts as a comic, telling no jokes and just delivering kick to the balls or pie in the face moments.

It’s no surprise because it’s an Adam Sandler movie.

MORE AFTER THE JUMP…

Even real actresses like Salma Hayek, Maria Bello, and Maya Rudolph are given very little to do other than speak a line every 10 minutes and then have breast milk shoot at them or have toilet paper get stuck to their butts.

It’s no surprise because it’s an Adam Sandler movie.

Cameos by SNL cast members Colin Quinn, Tim Meadows and even Steve Buscemi offer little help to punch up the material, though Meadows and Rock get into a quick scuffle, providing one of the movies only few good laughs. Which is what people want from a Sandler movie: a good laugh here and there, but here it’s just a bunch of endless dick and fart jokes.

It’s no surprise because it’s an Adam Sandler movie.

The movie looks very expensive from all of the extras and large set pieces – from a New Hampshire lake house to a mammoth-sized water park and a huge 4th of July picnic at the end. The movie was just an excuse to go on vacation and get paid at the same time for Sandler and his crew. It’s no surprise because it’s an Adam Sandler… Time Out. Stop this madness.

Why has Sandle taken the money and run? We’ve seen Sandler make unapologetic critic-proof movies since the the mid-90s, but somewhere when his movies started to make money–throwing the middle finger at Big Daddy–they’ve become some of the most blandest and forgettable comedy movies of the past decade.

Not including Punch Drunk-Love, Reign Over Me, or Funny People, which all may be another excuse for him to go back and make these kind of money burning movies.

Kids growing up back in the mid-90s of the Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore days could quote Sandler left and right, “Stop staring at me swwwan”, “Sooo hot want to touch the hiney, ouwww!” It was stupid but funny. Now, I can’t think of one line from Click, I Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, or even 50 First Dates worth shouting at my friends at an inappropriate time.

By the end of Grown Ups, your brain is hurting from repeating these excuses, you’ve realized that you have officially ‘grown up’ from these “kind of comedies," yet all you want to do is run out of the theater like a scared little kid.

Last summer, Adam Sandler decided he wanted to take a New England vacation with his buddies and stare at Salma Hayek's cans all day. A film crew tagged along and now we have Grown Ups. The film assumes the very believable premise of five guys who were childhood friends but haven't seen one another since they were twelve years old, so they decide to get to know one another again thirty years later. This isn't very different from the teaser we already saw. They just made more room for pee jokes. The movie opens June 25th and stars SNL's cast circa 1992 with the notable busty additions of Salma and Kevin James. Watch Kevin James make a sissy after the jump.

Sure, Chris Farley is throwing a tantrum in heaven over the sight of Kevin James playing a role clearly intended for him, but I think we all know digitally placing him in the film wouldn't have worked out any better.
